Iowa Sheep and Wool Festival 2014

It is time for the Sheep festival on June 14-15. The Guild will again have a presence at this event. We will wind yarn, have a yarn sample display with swatches and such, meet the public and of course, knit. We hope you can join us.

There is a new location this year, at the Jasper County Fairgrounds
Colfax, Iowa. Here is a map to the location.

They also have many yarn and fiber related classes happening all weekend.
Check out their website for details, registration and more information.

About The Guild

We are the Des Moines Knitting Guild, a group of yarn crafters who meet to support the love of knit and crochet. We are open to and welcome any knitting enthusiast, regardless of skill level. Our purpose is to enrich the knitting experience by sharing and developing the craft.

Meet Us

Meetings are the first Tuesday of the month at Grace Lutheran Church, 3010 52nd Street, on the corner of 52nd & Urbandale. We meet in Grace Hall on the second floor, north side. The meeting runs from 7-9 p.m, and someone will be there at 6:30 to assist with knitting and to greet visitors.
